Harvard Law School has a long-standing commitment to preserving access to the J.D. program for all admitted candidates, regardless of family financial strength. Admissions decisions are made regardless of ability to pay. An aid applicant must first be admitted to the HLS J.D. program prior to applying for financial aid. After admission, any student with financial concerns is encouraged to apply for financial assistance.
We’re here to help
We understand that your decision to attend law school means you’ve committed to investing in your future: intellectually, professionally, and financially. We encourage you to stop by our office or contact us to discuss any financial concerns you might have at any point during the year. We are happy to assist you with the application process, understanding financial aid policies, estimating loan repayment, seeking outside resources, or even personal budget planning. Our staff is committed to assisting you with your financial aid concerns both while you pursue your law degree and after you graduate.
